About me

Are you struggling with negative thoughts and emotions that overwhelm you? Would you like help to increase self-esteem and feel emotionally stronger?

Working with me will help you make sense of your past and how early relationships can affect us. I will help you gain control of anxiety, create stronger boundaries, emotional resilience, and a happier you.  I offer counseling in person and online to suit your diary.  

Seeking help can feel scary, especially when life feels overwhelming and painful.  Reaching out to get help takes courage but I promise to help you and go at your pace, never judging or shaming you. You're in control.     

I am a person-centered counsellor and an attachment-based psychotherapist.  My private practice is in Lytham, Lancashire.  www.yourfeelingsmatter.co.uk  and I work with survivors of domestic abuse and have extensive experience in the field of physical, emotional, financial, and sexual abuse.  You don't need to suffer alone. 

If you feel ready to seek help, I'd love to help you.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership

Key details

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

My counselling practice in Lytham is fully accessible.
